A Very Special Critter By Gina And Mercer Mayer

It is important to choose the right friends, good friends can take you wherever you want to go in life, and the wrong friends can be a disastrous decision. A quote from The Pact sums this up nicely, “Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you.” (32) This is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people, and

In the modern age friendship comes in many different shapes and sizes. There's the good and there's the bad. You might even find some types of friendships surprising, for example an "entrepreneurial relationship". In the book "Of Mice and Men" Lennie and George are friends, but not very good friends. George is unfortunately friends with Lennie for the wrong reasons.

When my older sister, Molly, was ten years old, she was a temporary cripple. Molly went through a pretty big surgery that would stop her from tripping over her pigeon toed legs. While living a couple months in her wheelchair, an uncle of ours came to visit. His warm welcome to my sister was pushing her into a corner, locking her wheelchair, and calling her a windowlicker. Thankfully, my sister has tough skin. She took what others would find scarring, all as a joke. It is hard not to be reminded of the unexpected response my sister gave while reading the essay “I AM a Cripple” by Nancy Mairs. Within this essay, the author describes her life as a cripple suffering with MS. While sharing her thoughts and emotions (gerund) from

Friendship is a bond between two people. Friendship is being by your friend’s side when you are needed and when you are not. To be a friend, you have to be trustworthy so your friend can tell you anything. You have to be honest and have to be able to tell your friend the truth no matter the consequences. You have to be kind and understanding so you can put yourself in your friend’s shoes to understand their situation.

Friendship is one of the most valuable components in life. Friendship has the ability to change lives in a positive way. Friendship changes people’s views on life to a more positive outlook. “True friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes a position in your best interests in a crisis. Friendship goes beyond sharing time together, and it is long lasting.” (Friends.com). As we spend a lot of time with our friends, friendship opens our minds to different ways of viewing the world. Unfortunately, sometimes strong barriers may be placed by those who see two people’s friendship as a threat; since people are influenced by their friends, friendship could make people question what

A friendship is a bond of mutual affection. Many people around the world share this bond with one or more people. The funny thing about this topic is almost every person who becomes very close with another, it always seems to happen with an event that is funny and leads to the friendship shared between the two or more.

If a child has a disability that restricts movement or requires them to use a wheelchair they will find it a lot harder to participate in the same activities as other children. This exclusion means that they will find it more challenging to develop relationships than their peers. If a child requires a wheelchair children may see them as different and may not want to interact with them in the same way they would with others. Consequently, they may find that they are being treated differently to other children. This will therefore harm the child’s social development and lower their self-esteem.

A Friendship is made up by caring for someone special to you, It’s looking out for them, hanging out with them, and trusting them.

In “Kylie’s Project” Kylie a disabled 12 year old girl, shows how she overcomes and copes with her disability, and the misunderstanding surrounding her disability. For example, in the text it says “You know, Kylie, I thought you still rode in a ring with a trainer next to you. How does it feel to be out there on your own? ‘ KYLIE (smiling): ‘Amazing. It’s only temporary, but I feel so free. I can go places I could never go in my chair, like this path through the woods’.” This

Friendship is one of the most valuable things to a person. It gives you the freedom to be who you are. Living a life without friendship is like not living at all because you don’t have anyone to experience it with. In your life, you will come across both good and bad friendships. A good friendship is described as honest, loyal, and happy.

Furthermore, school is a place where you make friends and integrate with one another. However, individuals with disabilities are often susceptible to face vast number of stereotypes, labels or discomfort at school. That is because of the lack of consciousness and biases that is created by imposing a distinction between non-disabled versus disabled from an early age. Valerie Piro tells us that some her classmates told her that she has a “perfect personal essay topic” (Piro 3). Her friends imply that she has the “perfect essay topic” because of her disability. Yet, it is rather confusing that they are being ironic, jealous or making fun of her situation. As Piro emphasizes, human beings need to “encourage one another to demand that society accept”

Many times we ask ourselves, “What’s the best way to maintain a healthy friendship?” Little do we realize, that friendship is not having common interests and talking with your friend. The best way to preserve a friendship is acceptance- embrace your friend for what they are rather than what they are not.

Friendship is exceedingly imperative to me and has been an immense influence on me and my life. The way it has impacted me has changed dramatically, starting in fourth grade when I was accepted into Quest, the advanced program in my school district. In fourth and fifth grade I made friends with a majority of the other kids in Quest. We were all quite close. We hung out all the time. At recess the entire class played capture the flag together, apart from the rest of the classes in our school. We always stuck up for each other. We were like a family. The changes and continuities with my relationships have sculpted my outlook on friendship and how I feel about my friends.

Friendship is an integral part of the life of any human being. Most people feel the need to have a person who they can communicate with and talk about their challenges at any given time. Friendship is essential in
